I don't think that. It's simple. He played the last U-20 World Championship and he wasn't in the preseason with Real Sociedad.He'll be a definitive starter in the next match, I'm sure. I think he'll play against Athletic Club tomorrow.

The intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

Montannier makes a lot of changes in the offensive line. Real Sociedad plays with Imanol Agirretxe as CF in Anoeta but with Carlos Vela in the rest of matches. At home he prefers the strength of Agirretxe. Carlos Vela is the choosen one when Real Sociedad needs to play fast in the quick counters.

Don't really agree with formation 1. As far as I've seen, Sociedad under Montanier always (or almost always) play a starting lineup of 4-2-3-1. In fact, in theory, Xabi Prieto would be the starting AMF with Vela as RMF and Griezmann as LMF. Sometimes Vela is deployed as CF instead of Agirretxe, then Xabi Prieto can play as RMF (his most natural role) and Zurutuza fills in as AMF. But the formation stays the same.
